An incredible story

No reason why you should be, OBVIOUSLY, but if you’re in need of distraction today, it’s the 149th anniversary of the birth of Harold Davidson, Rector of Stiffkey, defrocked for ‘rescuing’ young ladies and eventually mauled by a lion in Skegness

Odd this daymulberryhall.medium.com Give thanks and praise, for it is the 148th anniversary of the birth of destined-to-be-defrocked vicar Harold Davidson, self-styled…

I know a lot of people are saying this attempt on his life will swing things in Trump’s favour, but it is also a reminder to millions of Americans of the violence and mayhem he attracts. I'm not swayed by the argument of sympathy votes in situations like this - although of course it will harden core

Jacob has to cast an eye over some figures later today, but there are seven children to get ready for school—how will he cope? Oh, the boys are all boarders and his wife and nanny are taking care of the others. Join us next week for more family drama.

I promised my teenage kids a feelgood factor some months ago. Felt we were owed one, and if it only lasts until Sunday, welll that is good enough frankly. A taste of how life can be in a democracy.

And they’re off! #ToryCivilWar Suella Braverman: “I’d be interested in knowing whether Kemi thinks I’m having a “very public nervous breakdown”.”

I know people like our quirky tradition of monster raving loons and joke candidates but I think it's time to move on from that stuff now and grow up a bit. But enough of Jacob Rees-Mogg ....

"Voting doesn't change anything" "They're all the same" "I'm going to spoil my ballot"

Can't even tell the truth about this. It's quite clearly his front.

"Stella" looks like a reliable sort

Doubt it because the rest of us find it objectively hilarious

Apologies for reposting the truly toxic mix of Tate AND Farage into your timelines but I think it's important we understand exactly who Farage is. He's telling us right here.
